I got the wallet working, but the official faucet kept giving me an error. I also probably didn't create a particularly strong password.

Any recommendations on what level of password strength/entropy are required for a sufficiently strong password?

I'm merely curious about NXT. I'd like to see what I could do with it. I actually know some Java but never really had any incentive to keep learning it.

well my password is on the level of AD!e1wdsa$T#%345rdsfjhtUYgFHY!!`1264514mGBndsffdawDSAdrtvju^3651$%$%$sd (not my real password btw...just an example) ...  Tongue

Hopefully that type of style of password is random and strong enough...I tried making it as random as possible...

On the topic of exchanges

Please show some reddit love over here as well:

http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1yd9dx/its_welcome_week_at_coinmkt_zero_fees_zero/

Another possibility to buy NXT with US dollars. They have jumped through all the crazy regulation hoops already here in the US.

I have already exchanged a couple of emails with them as well.

https://coinmkt.com/

And on the topic of reddit: it would be great for some more technical people to look in once in a while.

We are getting more new users in there with questions we cannot always answer.

It's not as scary as it looks and would be much appreciated Smiley

Can someone send me links to any secure online Nxt wallets available?  Working with a couple exchanges to add Nxt and want to make it easy for their end users.  Thanks.

i think the best is https://wallet.nxtty.com:7875 with trusted SSL

If someone has an invite code for Bittrex.com, please PM me.

P.S.: Got a tweet from Mintpal



Mintpal is down for maintenance now - to add NXT???
Maybe we should keep an eye on them and keep voting as we made it to the top ...

Well, don't wanna take the wind out of your sails, but that doesn't sound to me like they decided to add Nxt. To me that sounds like Nxt is under consideration among with other coins, but has good community support so thats a plus.

I have tested my raspi with a bruteforce script witch is checking account balances.

The raspi was able to answere ~400 requests per secound (web.xml ddos entry 30000). I don't know if this is an indicator of the resources of a raspi to get 1000tps done. The java process was consuming 95% CPU and the connection was 100Mbit.
Powerconsumption was ~3,5Watt (model B)

For comparison my i5 windows pc was able to answere 15000 requests per secound with 1Gbit connection.

Greets,
eb

PS.: Do we have a script or something to test tps? Would be nice to have to decide what hardware we need for the nodes someday.

Okay, I see. This was not what I meant. I meant, could it be possible to force popping off blocks containing alias transactions and therefore causing a rescan over and over again?
No, to force a block pop-off you need to have a better block / longer chain, etc. This cannot be faked, and if a peer lies about its cumulative difficulty and causes a rescan because of that, it gets blacklisted, for 5 min by default. And when one day we keep more stuff in database instead of in memory, the need for rescans will also be reduced.


So, theoretically, if I would buy thousands of nodes, I could keep everybody busy by rescanning the blockchain?

Maybe I should just disable debug logging by default, it only makes people think something is wrong. The intention was to make it easier to follow what is going on with the block and transaction processing, in the cases where something does go wrong.


Thank you for adding that counter. It's great:

Just nitpicking:

Could you unify the log output?
INFO: for 'NRS 0.7.6 started successfully.' etc.?

Is there a difference between DEBUG and INFO currently?

These questions will disappear after they have familiarized themselves with nxt-core. It's a process. It takes time.

Another issue:

many folks have the fear that they are on a branch/fork.

If you could find a way to demonstrate otherwise in the nxt.log. That would be great. Something like that:

Code:
[date] INFO: ....
[date] INFO: ....
[date] INFO: Fork probability: 0.01%
[date] INFO: ....
[date] INFO: ....
[date] INFO: Fork probability: 0.1%
[date] INFO: ....
[date] INFO: Fork probability: 14.2% WARNING
[date] INFO: ....
[date] INFO: ....

But, I fear that would greatly increase overhead at least for Raspis.

Say whaaat! Shocked

nxt monolith prototype is here 





More pics https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dgtssbde40wx4dt/x59vAKeILe

This was actually quite a bit of work. I had to polish the outer edges by hand with several grades of wet sandpaper and do the final touch with polishing paste. I also carved the outer edges of the logo to smooth the edges. 20mm acrylic seems to be a tough material even for a high power laser-cutter so it has to be finalised by hand. Which actually gives it more value imo, handmade in Finland Cool

So this is very first prototype and it came out rather nice. I would be very willing to post this prototype anywhere for the guys/ladies taking part to bitcoin-conferences and other pr-events. So if there is a spare nxt in marketing funds I'm up for it.

See the original monolith post, more monoliths to come.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5067143

Holy crap! That is cool. So awesome that it should be made illegal.

Any idea how much a Genesis or DarkNXT 'lith will cost?

I am SO tempted!
 Grin

I have set the price 5000 nxt in this thread
https://forums.nxtcrypto.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=772

Was thinking if I should lower my ask but today when I finally finished polishing the prototype I really feel I have to keep the price around where it is now Undecided I'm waiting for a few more orders still before I can put the series in manufacture for genesis and darknxt.

Again this prototype is available for marketing and promotional purposes.

When a block is popped off, if it happened to contain a (necessarily valid) alias assignment transaction, this requires a blockchain scan. The block pop-off has nothing to do with the alias transaction in it, and cannot be forced by an invalid transaction.

Okay, I see. This was not what I meant. I meant, could it be possible to force popping off blocks containing alias transactions and therefore causing a rescan over and over again?
